About

Old Silverland Bakery

Since 1983, Silverland Bakery has provided the most delicious, all-natural Brownies, Cookies and Bars — perfect for gifts, parties, and events.

We are large enough to deliver any size order with little to no turnaround time and small enough to value each of our customers by treating them with highly personalized attention and service.

Silverland Bakery began over 40 years ago as one of the first commercial bakers of brownies. Since 1983, our founder and former structural engineer Athena Uslander has been hand crafting brownies, old fashioned bakery bars, cookies, crispy rice treats, all-natural food bars and customized products for wholesale customers as well as direct to the consumer.

Handcrafted Excellence

Recipes developed by Athena are hand made with locally sourced, high-quality all-natural ingredients in small batches, preservative-free. Our family business strives to be a recognized brand known to consumers, foodservice and retailers for making all-natural desserts crafted by heart and hand.

“If you want the best, you start with the best ingredients and you never compromise taste.” —Athena Uslander

What does it take to “Craft by Heart & Hand”?

It takes a pregnant engineer who’s fed up with her job and determined to pass some tradition down to her kids. Over forty years ago, Athena Uslander, with her nimble engineer’s hands and tradition-craving mother’s heart, left her job for her passion.

The rest, is Chicago history – “the birthplace of the brownie” hasn’t been the same since. Those coveted family recipes are still strictly followed by master artisans, as they fold by hand and douse with love every Silverland treat you eat.

Dedication to Community

Shortly after starting Silverland Bakery, Athena decided that one of the bakeries core values would be giving back. Since then, Silverland has sponsored a Cambodian village through World Vision. In 2008, Athena developed Athena’s Fund for Women and Girls to support local organizations that help women and girls in need with the same care and love that we give to our product line.

Recognition & Media

All of the love and attention to detail given to Silverland’s baked goods hasn’t gone unnoticed. We have been recognized by national media, including The Food Network, The Travel Channel, USA Today, and Good Housekeeping, the Chicago Tribune, and the Sun Times. In 2005, the multi-faceted Athena was chosen as a model and spokeswoman for Unilever's Dove Pro-Age™. This experience took her to an appearance on Oprah and a feature on The Today Show, which put her Silverland Bakery before a national audience. It also took her to major media and talk show tour across North and South America and Europe.
